How should tonsillitis and fever in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Female baby, currently 2 years old, just started. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She also has mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis and fever?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be used. Symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good effects. If the sore throat condition is relatively severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. The above methods are currently commonly used for treating tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also one feasible method, suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
