Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed tired. Please ask: How should I treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying and complaining?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child also has a low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
