Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should the child's tonsillitis be treated when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
