How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated for the best effect?

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately with fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
