Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should I treat my child's sore tonsils if he is feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
