How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated properly?

Patient's question:

My male child is 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for your child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
