Question
My son is 9 years old and has been experiencing a slight sore throat, making swallowing a bit difficult. He also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat red swelling in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be given appropriately. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. Besides these methods, surgery is also a viable treatment option, particularly suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplements to help them recover quickly.
