How to treat fever and tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed it accompanied by mild cough, and now he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
