Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
