How to treat a child's sore throat effectively when they are crying and upset

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already one year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, it seems his cough is also quite severe, and he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and fussing?

Doctor's answer:

To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
