Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started, saying she has pain when swallowing, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How is the treatment for tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Persistent fever in the child should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
