How to treat a sore throat caused by tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 2 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, and now, high fever persists. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful in children?

Doctor's answer:

First, to treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar episodes occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
