Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever had not subsided. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when it causes discomfort?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
