How to treat tonsillitis and low fever in children effectively

Patient's question:

My son is 5 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
