Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How to treat infant and toddler tonsillitis with high fever.Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. 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 there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
