Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. We noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please advise: How can we effectively treat his tonsillitis to make him feel better?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
