Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has sore tonsillitis, how should it be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
