Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing and drinking water. It was found that swallowing was a bit difficult, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child’s throat is particularly painful, painkillers can also be administered. If the child has a slight fever, it is advisable to cool down. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention early. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms.
