Question
A 7-year-old boy says he has a sore throat with slight coughing, and now he has a persistent high fever. What should be done to treat the child’s tonsillitis and red swelling?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to effectively relieve inflammatory symptoms for the child. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child primarily exhibits sore throat symptoms, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can also give the child fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital for a consultation. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. After improvement, it is recommended to engage the child in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
