Patient's question:
My boy is 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing things, and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Also, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Some appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While taking the medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. If your child frequently experiences such symptoms, after the condition is controlled, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage your child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
