Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has mild coughing, and also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Question: How can tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be used. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences such symptoms, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to avoid exacerbating the symptoms due to cold exposure.
