Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
