Patient's question:
My son, who is 9 years old, first mentioned that he had a sore throat. I noticed that his cough was quite severe and that it seemed like his low-grade fever had not gone away. Could you please advise on how to treat severe tonsillitis in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can consult your doctor for symptomatic treatment using anti-inflammatory medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the symptoms primarily involve sore throat, you may consider taking pain-relieving medications. If your child has persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. If this condition occurs frequently, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. While undergoing treatment, it's also important to provide your child with a light diet, enhance nutritional supplementation, and support early recovery.
