Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had 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 and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, medical attention is necessary. 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 appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
