Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He also noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
