Question
A 4-year-old boy has complained of a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing and a bit of fever, lacking in energy. How should red swelling in a child’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For an effective treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional rinsing or spraying, or even intratonsillar injections. If the child’s primary symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving painkillers for relief. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as early as possible, and also focus on preventive and health care measures.
