Patient's question:
My male child is 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is recommended at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
