Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if he is crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can also be administered. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
