How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and 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 antibiotics, or local flushing or topical sprays can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for better efficacy. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
