Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 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 low fever. Please ask: How should a child with high fever from tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, they can also undergo some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can be given, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it's important to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
