Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated if the child is crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
