Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
