Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
