How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated properly?

Patient's question:

My daughter, who is 8 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. It was discovered that she also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C.
In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
