How should a child with sore tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

My male child is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed he also has mild coughing. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should I treat a child's sore throat effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, antipyretic medication can be administered, or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
