How should a child with tonsillitis be treated when crying?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, found, accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis causing crying and fussing in the child.

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
