Hello, it is clinically common for children with inflamed tonsils to experience recurring fever. The exact cause is not clear, but it may be related to decreased immunity in children, leading to viral and bacterial infections. Active treatment is necessary. It is recommended that children take antiviral oral liquid, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc., for active treatment. If the fever still cannot be controlled, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests are needed, after which the most sensitive antibiotic should be selected for further treatment. I hope my answer can help you. Wishing you good health.
