How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated?

Patient's question:

My son is 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It turns out his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered, and pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
