Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that swallowing was painful. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat red and swollen tonsils in young children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily presents with sore throat symptoms, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some analgesics to alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
