Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Also, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as flushing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
