Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis and high fever in children?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. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered as needed. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent colds and further tonsillitis.
