Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in a timely manner. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
