What should I do if my child has a fever caused by tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

On October 6th in the afternoon, I started having a high fever and was diagnosed with tonsillitis. The doctor prescribed roxithromycin and gave me Motrin to reduce fever. After taking the fever-reducing medicine, the fever subsided quickly, but it returned to around 39 degrees after the medication wore off. On the third day, I went for a prenatal check-up, and the doctor noticed small blisters on my tonsils and added ribavirin effervescent granules to the treatment. Since the urine test showed normal white blood cell levels, I didn't take any additional medication.

Doctor's answer:

Guidance: If the tonsils cannot be surgically removed, it is better not to remove them. Based on the child's condition, I recommend trying traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Use a little of wild chrysanthemum, mountain bean root, dandelion, Platycodon grandiflorum, Isatis indigotica, licorice, and Ophiopogon japonicus to boil water. For tonsillitis, drinking this decoction many times can help. Also, enhance physical exercise and boost immunity to effectively prevent recurrence.
The above is advice on the issue of "childhood tonsillitis leading to high fever." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
