Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or it can be combined with local treatment methods. Options such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication are all effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgical intervention is advised. While treating the condition, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
