How should pediatric tonsillitis with pain be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 1 year old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that when speaking his voice is a bit hoarse, and a little feverish and lacking energy, please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. They can also be used locally, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. 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 are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching colds, which could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
