How should a child with sore tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. Then, he was found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain be treated in children?

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 according to symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
