Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had low fever. Please ask: How should a high fever with tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling is suitable; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there are multiple acute severe cases or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
