Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent further episodes.
