Answer
Generally, for children with tonsillitis and high fever, appropriate use of antibiotics is recommended, along with medication sprays or laser therapy. Painkillers can also be administered to alleviate throat pain. Children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic drugs. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. After recovery, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
