Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, 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.
