Question
My son is 7 years old and has started to feel a sore throat and severe cough. Now he also has a persistent high fever. How should I treat red swelling in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
Choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties, such as those recommended by the doctor. Options may include laser or medication irrigation. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the condition occurs frequently, surgery may be considered to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
