How should a child with tonsillitis be treated for pain?

Patient's question:

My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
