How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?

Patient's question:

My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed it, and his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis pain in the child?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also undergo local treatments, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If there are multiple acute severe cases or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is mainly necessary to ensure that the child is well-warmed to avoid aggravating the symptoms due to cold.
