How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, feels sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. Pain relievers can be given when necessary, especially if the child has severe sore throat. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
