How to treat fever and tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. He has also had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During daily life, maintain a light diet, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
