Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. Pain relievers can also be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is known to be recurrent, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
