Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He 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 the child's tonsillitis be treated if it is painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, local rinsing, or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for better efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
