Patient's question:
My male child, who is 5 years old, initially said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He was noticed to have a slightly hoarse voice and accompanied by low fever.：How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers may be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurring tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
