Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, started by saying he had a sore throat. Upon observation, it was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is causing discomfort, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
