Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medications in the form of sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Pain relievers may also be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate physical activity to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
