How should a child with tonsillitis be treated for pain?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
