Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
