Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can also be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
