Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he still has a high fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. For those with 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 the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbating symptoms by preventing them from catching a cold.
