Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, can be administered based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injections into the tonsils can be used. If necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
