Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: How can the high fever from tonsillitis be treated effectively in children?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 therapy can also be administered. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. 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 during the healing period.
