Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. Children with low-grade fever can be physically cooled down, and if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, 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 aid in early recovery.
