How should children with sore throats and crying be treated properly?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 3 years old. At the beginning, he said his throat hurts when swallowing. He noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and slightly feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for children with tonsillitis crying and fussing?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on your symptoms. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, you may consider giving pain-relieving medication. For those who also have low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, consider surgery after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to exposure to cold.
