Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. They can also be used locally, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
