Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
