Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
