How to treat severe sore throat caused by tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and has been slightly feverish all along. Question: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis if it's very painful.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
