Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can we treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively when the child is crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child also has low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
