How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
