Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
