How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis and high fever for the best effect?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
