Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should infant and toddler tonsillitis with high fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar episodes occur, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
