Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started saying he has a sore throat. Noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child is uncomfortable with tonsillitis, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not alleviate the condition, medical attention must be sought. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
