Question
My daughter is 7 years old. She recently has a sore throat and a slight cough, and now she has a high fever. What should I do to treat red and swollen tonsillitis in young children?
Answer
When treating red and swollen tonsillitis in young children, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, as well as options like laser therapy or medication irrigation. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and fever can be treated with oral fever-reducing medication. If necessary, medical consultation is essential. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
