Patient's question:
My male child is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
First, to treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
