Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis when he cries and complains?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. 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. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
