Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, can be given based on the child's symptoms first. Additionally, medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied locally. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. In addition to these medication methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under a doctor's guidance. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets sufficient rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
