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

Patient's question:

My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
