Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: How should I treat a child's sore throat caused by tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
