Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, at first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated effectively for the child?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can also be administered. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. Moreover, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
