Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, started with a sore throat when she started talking. She also discovered that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, (symptomatic) treatment can be administered, such as giving antibiotics to the child, which is quite effective. Additionally, topical medications in the form of sprays or laser treatment can be used. If the child has significant throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical attention for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
