Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and then it was discovered that his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, 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 this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
