Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that swallowing things hurt. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can the treatment for tonsillitis and fever in children be effective?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
