What is the situation of tonsillitis with high fever?

Patient's question:

Our child was born prematurely and has always had a weak constitution. In kindergarten, they are particularly prone to catching colds, which has led to recurrent tonsillitis. We are concerned about the significant impact this may have on their health. Could you please explain what happens when tonsillitis is accompanied by high fever?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you mentioned above, it is preliminarily considered to be caused by inflammation and infection. It is recommended to drink more water and eat light, easily digestible foods. Amoxicillin can be taken to address the issue, but it is not advisable to take penicillin VK. When a patient is directly affected by tonsillitis, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If tonsillitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
