How to treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 9 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things. It was discovered that the cough seems to be quite severe as well, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated well?

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
