Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and he noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and a fever, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
