Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse, and he also had a low fever and no energy. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis and low fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is kept warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
