How should children with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?

Patient's question:

My son is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, can give the child some antibiotics, which is quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
