Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Also, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. When necessary, such as when a 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, seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
