For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes.
