Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms are not relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
