How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated? Antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected appropriately. While taking medication, some local treatments can be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to reinforce the efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be recommended to alleviate symptoms. If the fever persists, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Rest and avoiding fatigue should also be prioritized.
