Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. Also, she had a slight fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
