Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by a slight cough, and has had a low-grade fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pharyngalgia in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
