Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can you effectively treat severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
