How should we treat children's tonsillitis and crying?

Patient's question:

My little girl, who is 2 years old this year, initially said she had a sore throat. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult with a doctor to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relief medication may be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered cautiously. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
