Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He started with a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and low-grade fever. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment methods include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and medication injections, and painkillers to alleviate throat pain or cooling methods, which should be chosen based on body temperature. If the tonsillitis recurs, consider surgical treatment. It is also important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables.
