How should tonsillitis be treated when it is very painful for a child?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 9 years old, at the beginning, said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. Noticed that the cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: If a child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
