Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Also, he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory 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 advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
