The child's tonsils are swollen and very painful. How should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and it was found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, he had a slight fever and was not energetic. Please ask: How to treat the child's tonsillitis if it is very painful.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has a severe sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms caused by cold exposure.
