Question
A 5-year-old boy has recently been complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat the inflammation and swelling of a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and have the child take anti-inflammatory medication. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation or tonsil injections can be considered. Painkillers can be administered as needed to relieve throat pain, and antipyretics can be taken for fever. In severe cases, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition stabilizes, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence, and moderate exercise is recommended after recovery to enhance immunity.
