Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
