Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
