How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be administered appropriately. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
