Patient's question:
My male child is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms are not relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. 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 during the healing period.
