How to treat tonsillitis effectively when children feel uncomfortable

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 now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis for relief?

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. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases of multiple acute severe episodes or those with complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
