Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He has a slight sore throat, along with severe coughing, and he’s been running a fever. How should red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil dilation irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, painkillers can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for high fevers. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. After recovery, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
