How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

My male child is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to have the tonsillectomy performed two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
