Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Also, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinses are recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
