Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
