Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has had a slight fever all along. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under a doctor's guidance. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
