How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication may be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be taken orally. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
