How to treat a child's sore throat with inflammation and crying

Patient's question:

Boy, already 9 years old, at the beginning, said that even drinking water with a sore throat feels painful. It was found that it was accompanied by mild cough, and at the same time, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsil inflammation and crying in children.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.
In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may choose surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
