Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and they can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40°C, prompt medical attention is required. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
