How to diagnose and treat fever in children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. For multiple acute severe episodes or cases with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
