Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing and drinking water. He also noticed a slight cough and seemed to have a low-grade fever that never went away. What should be the appropriate treatment for red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
To achieve a better treatment for tonsillitis, one can choose some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the medication is not effective and there are recurrent episodes, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. Also, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
