Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should acute tonsillitis in young children be treated when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis, can give the child some antibiotics, which is quite effective. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
