Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 6 years old, started to feel a sore throat when speaking. He noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should the child's tonsillitis be treated when he is crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
