How to treat tonsillitis effectively when it is very painful for children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing things, found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How can tonsillitis be treated effectively when it's very painful for children?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
