How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, who is already 5 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
