Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How to treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and upset.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
