How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and then found that his cough seemed to be more severe, and it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is more severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
