Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 8 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse while talking. At the same time, she had a slight fever and felt lethargic. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment for high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of the symptoms.
