Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: How should I treat her tonsillitis and fever?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 also be administered. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for the child as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
