How to treat a child's tonsillitis effectively when they are crying and upset

Patient's question:

Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and noticed mild coughing. At the same time, he had low fever. Question: How can we effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet is recommended, with a focus on liquid foods.
