How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and low-grade fever, how should it be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
