How should acute tonsillitis with high fever be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and it was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he had a low fever. I would like to ask: What should be the appropriate treatment for children's tonsillitis and high fever?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention should be sought.
In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
