How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated?

Patient's question:

My daughter, who is 7 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like the low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis and a low fever?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for children. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
