Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during the treatment period.
