Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, can give the child some antibiotics, which is quite effective. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
