How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a male baby, 4 years old. At first, he said that swallowing was painful, and it was found that it was accompanied by mild cough. At the same time, he has now developed high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsil inflammation pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis first involves parents giving their child anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
