Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should one effectively treat tonsillitis with high fever in a child?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on consuming liquid foods.
