How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, but then it was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
