How to treat sore throat caused by tonsillitis effectively in children

Patient's question:

My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively when it is 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 treatment can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
