Question

How should one effectively treat a child with tonsillitis that is red and swollen?

Answer

Generally speaking, for children with tonsillitis, the use of antibiotics is considered effective. In addition, local spray treatments or laser therapy can also be considered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be given to relieve discomfort. If there is a slight fever, fever reduction measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to a reasonable diet and rest schedule, which can help in the recovery from the disease.
