Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he had been running a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
