Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed, how should they be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, local flushing or topical sprays can also be applied, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The therapeutic effects are all quite good. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
