Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 7 years old, at first felt a sore throat when speaking and found that their voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, they have had a slight fever for a long time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated for the best effect in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Persistent fever in the child should be promptly treated with fever-reducing medication. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
