Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, at the same time, now has high fever that won't go down, please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
