Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, you can also perform local treatments, such as irrigation or applying medication directly. This can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, you may consider giving pain-relieving medication. If the child has persistent fever, it's important to use fever-reducing drugs promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use physical cooling methods. If your child frequently experiences this condition, you may consider surgical treatment after the is under control to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it's important to ensure your child gets adequate nutrition, with a diet that is primarily light and balanced. Additionally, you should pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
