Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
