How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, coughed more severely, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with 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, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be administered according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
