How should children with sore throats due to tonsillitis be treated properly?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat tonsillitis pain in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. 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. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
