Question

My child is a 6-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He also had a low-grade fever. How can the discomfort of pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?

Answer

The treatment methods include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications, regional treatments (such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal injection, laser therapy, etc.), and for throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, and in case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical assistance. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
