Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. While systemic treatment is being carried out, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
