Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. She also had a low fever. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Children with low-grade fever should be physically cooled down, and if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
