Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water, and he has been experiencing quite severe coughing. It seems like he has had a low-grade fever all along. What treatment methods are available for red and swollen tonsillitis in children?
Answer
There are several treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis. Firstly, you can give your child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the symptoms are more severe, you can try regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medication. If your child has throat pain, you can give him a small amount of pain relief medication. At the same time, if your child has a low-grade fever, you can relieve it through physical cooling measures. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The aforementioned methods are commonly used treatments. However, if your child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, make sure your child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
