Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can I treat severe tonsillitis in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. Moreover, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
