Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, it seems like a low fever has not subsided. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated well?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. Pain relievers can also be provided based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen according to the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
