How should sore throat from tonsillitis be treated well in children?

Patient's question:

My son is 3 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat and noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he has been a bit feverish. I would like to ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated well?

Doctor's answer:

Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, in addition to local medication sprays or laser treatment. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If the child has a persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgery is recommended. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to a doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
