Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He also had a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is causing discomfort, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
