Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he had been experiencing a low-grade fever for quite some time. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If the child gets tonsillitis, you can first use some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the effectiveness. In cases of sore throat, you can also give the child some pain relievers. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.Besides the above drug treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also suggested. During this period, make sure the child gets enough rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
