How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat, notices it, and her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Also, she has been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
