How should a child with tonsillitis be treated for pain?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.
In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
