Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. Then, she was found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking. Additionally, it seems like she has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
