Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered appropriately, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
