How to treat a child with tonsillitis pain

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis pain in my child?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, maintain a light diet, and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
