Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
