Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 7 years old, initially said that she felt pain when swallowing. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like she had a low-grade fever that wouldn't go away. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For children with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet and receives adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
