Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child develops tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be used. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics may be given. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
