How should a child with tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
