Question
A 3-year-old boy has started to feel a sore throat, with discomfort when drinking water. He is also experiencing severe coughing and a slight fever, along with a lack of energy. What should be done to treat the red swelling of the child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil lymphoid tissue lavage or regional injection drugs. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be taken. If there is a fever, a fever reducer can be used, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. Surgery is one method of treatment for recurrent cases, and it is also important to pay attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to assist in recovery.
