Question
My son is 6 years old and has been complaining of pain when swallowing. He has been experiencing more severe coughing, and now he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat red and swollen tonsillitis in children?
Answer
For an effective treatment of tonsillitis, consider selecting anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional rinsing or spray treatments, or symptomatic injections. Additionally, for children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. In cases of fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature. If tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure warmth to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
