Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: If a child has tonsillitis and a fever, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
