Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started. Says drinking water feels sore in the throat, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, she already has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated effectively when it is very painful in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
