How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was found that it was accompanied by mild cough, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius.
In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
