Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling is appropriate, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to worsen the symptoms.
