What medications are good for children with tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

The baby has a cold and cough, with recurrent fever. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the tonsils were inflamed, causing inflammatory fever. The hospital recommended taking medication. Since he is so young, I don't want to give him medicine. But are there any medications specifically for tonsillar inflammatory fever? Hello, what medication is best for children with tonsillitis?

Doctor's answer:

According to your explanation, your baby's tonsillitis is caused by a viral upper respiratory tract infection. If the tonsillitis is severe and the fever recurs, it is best to check a complete blood count. If the white blood cell and lymphocyte counts in the blood are both high, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and receive a few days of intravenous fluids to recover quickly. If it is not too severe, you can persist in giving your child anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications for a few days, while also drinking more water to prevent catching a cold.
