Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
