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. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has been feverish for an extended period, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
