Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and it hurts, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
