How should children with tonsillitis and crying be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and crying be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. 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 still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
