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

Patient's question:

My son is 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He was also experiencing mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should we treat his tonsillitis and high fever?

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 tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
