Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
