Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He was also found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
