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

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated well.

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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
