How should a child with sore tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that he also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis pain?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection drugs, which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
