How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. 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 sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
