Childhood tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 5 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis in children if it's very painful?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may 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.
