Patient's question:
My boy, who is 4 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should I treat a child with painful tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Moreover, if accompanied by fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide children with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
