Question

How should one treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended to start with symptomatic antibiotic medications. For localized treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation may be suggested. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can also be administered, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a slight fever, consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods, but if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, early surgery may be recommended. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to preventive and health care measures in daily life.
