How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 9 months old, just starting to say swallowing hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, at the same time, a little fever and no energy. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and fever, how should it be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used, and if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
