Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If a child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving drugs can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. It is important to maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods during treatment.
