Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, started with a slight sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: How should the inflammation and high fever of the child's tonsils be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
