Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed something. Then, we noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please advise: How should we diagnose and treat tonsillitis with fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain-relieving medication is advised to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the symptoms recur frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
