Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels painful in the throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis and sore throat when the child appears with these symptoms.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
