Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. Question: How is it effective to treat high fever from tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Simultaneously, if accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
