How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 5 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, he already has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
