How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Patient's question:

My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Later, we found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
