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

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said even drinking water made her throat hurt. She was found to have severe coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
