How to treat children's tonsillitis with low fever

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was found to be accompanied by mild cough. Additionally, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis and low fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given according to the situation. For those with low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.
In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
