How to treat pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child has persistent fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
