How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated effectively in children?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. The effectiveness of these treatments is quite good. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
