Patient's question:
Boy, already 6 years old, at the beginning, said that even drinking water feels sore in the throat, found that his voice is a little hoarse when speaking, and now he has high fever that doesn't subside. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's a child with tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be quite effective. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intra-tonsillar injections. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If the child has a fever, it's advisable to use fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest are also important.
