How to diagnose and treat fever with tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

My child is a 6-year-old boy. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with fever in young children.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, medication injections into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is very painful, as they can help alleviate the suffering. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the doctor's guidance. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
