The child has tonsillitis and a fever. How should it be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever for my child to get the best results?

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 medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not alleviate the symptoms, medical attention must be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
