Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and that he had been slightly feverish all along. Question: How should a sore throat with tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
