Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. 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 maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
