How should tonsillitis and fever in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Noticed that, coughing also seemed quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and fever, how should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil medication injections are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
