Question
My son is 7 years old and a boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. He also has a bit of a fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and redness be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pus irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is suggested to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child some oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease, take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
