Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he felt sore when trying to drink water, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should one effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and in pain?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication to treat pediatric tonsillitis. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover more quickly.
