Doctor's answer:
Generally, antibiotics are used for treatment, such as penicillin and sulfonamide drugs. For low-grade fever, gargling with alcohol on the submandibular area, armpits, etc., can help reduce body temperature. Consuming sweet and palatable remedies like Liu Shen Wan (Six) or Iodine Lozenges () can be used for local treatment. For recurrent acute tonsillitis, tonsillectomy may be considered after the acute phase inflammation is suppressed. Patients should pay attention to rest, drink plenty of fluids, consume liquid or semi-liquid foods, eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, maintain oral hygiene, and rinse with salt water or compound boracic mouthwash.The above suggestions are for the question "A child had a high fever last week and went to the hospital for a check-up, and the tonsils were inflamed and they ate," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
