A child has tonsillitis and high fever, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting. Says drinking water makes her throat hurt. Found that her cough is quite severe, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. For sore throat, analgesics can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C.
In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
