Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis and low fever of the child be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily presents with sore throat symptoms, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be taken orally. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet, enhance nutritional supplementation, and support early recovery.
