Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he has a slight fever and doesn't have much energy. Could you please tell me: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, and local treatment can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt lavage, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not provide relief, medical attention must be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
