How to treat high fever in children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated.

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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
