Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and then we noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He also had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with sore throat in infants and young children for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be used accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
