Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can the high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local medication, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection, or providing pain relief medication for the child, especially when the sore throat is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
