How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment for children's tonsillitis and crying be properly managed.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
