How to treat a child's tonsillitis and high fever effectively

Patient's question:

My daughter, who is 8 years old, initially said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing and low fever. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. Pain relievers can also be given to the child based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
