Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has just started to feel a slight pain in his throat, and he has noticed that his coughing is more severe as well. He also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If necessary, such as when the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child also has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks, and if similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
