Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with fever in young children.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. 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.
