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

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injections. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
