How should children with sore and inflamed tonsils be treated for effective relief?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can we effectively treat a child's sore tonsils?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
