Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Pain relievers may also be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
