Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How is it best to treat pediatric tonsillitis pain?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 irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
