Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
