Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He also noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if it's painful?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
