Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. We noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
