Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
