How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 9 months old, just starting to talk, feels a sore throat when speaking, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively for children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
