How to treat a child with tonsillitis and high fever

Patient's question:

My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat and found it a bit difficult to swallow. Additionally, she had a fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
