Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if he is crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's throat is particularly painful, pain-relieving medication can be given as appropriate. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
