How to treat high fever in children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She was noticed to have severe coughing and had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How to treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
