How to treat severe sore throat caused by tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Boy, already 4 years old, at the beginning, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that, coughing also seemed to be more severe, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated if it is very painful.

Doctor's answer:

Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
