How should tonsillitis and sore throat in infants and young children be treated?

Patient's question:

My male child is 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He was also found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pharyngalgia in infants and young children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, they can take fever-reducing medication orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
