How to treat infant tonsillitis and sore throat

Patient's question:

My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in young children?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child primarily has a sore throat symptom, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
