Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lacking in energy. Could you please advise on how to treat his tonsillitis when he's crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
