Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, it seems his cough is also quite severe, accompanied by low-grade fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar episodes occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during treatment.
