Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and crying be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
