How to diagnose and treat a child's tonsillitis with high fever

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore. Upon noticing, his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis with high fever in the child be diagnosed and treated.

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, and medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief—all of these methods have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under a doctor's guidance for treatment. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child follows a light diet, strengthens nutritional intake, and helps promote early recovery.
