Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and sore throat be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately with fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
