Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the child be diagnosed and treated if he has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms or use local treatments, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is advisable to follow a light diet and focus on liquid foods.
