How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed that when speaking, her voice is a bit hoarse. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If tonsillitis in children is very painful, how should it be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor according to the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage your child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
