Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started, saying she has a sore throat, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be supplemented with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injections, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be considered based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes, so if similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbating the symptoms by catching a cold.
