How should a child with tonsillitis and pain be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he had been a little feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
