Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may choose surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
