Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
