Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt pain when swallowing water, noticed more severe coughing, and had a slight fever. What are the diagnosis and treatment methods for red swelling in children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The suggested treatment is to follow the doctor’s orders to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child and can be supplemented with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medications. If the child mainly exhibits symptoms of throat pain, parents may consider giving painkillers to relieve the pain. For persistent fever, it is recommended to use antipyretic medications promptly. For fevers not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling (temperature reduction) methods can be used. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents will pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children early, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
