Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a low fever. Question: How should the child's tonsillitis and fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
