How should a child with sore tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis pain?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
