Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment for tonsillitis and fever in children be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
