Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurt. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective if the child has tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
