How should children with sore tonsils be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 9 years old, at the beginning, there was a little pain in the throat, noticed, coughing was quite severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: if the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
