How should the treatment be for a child with tonsillitis and sore throat?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 2 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and slightly feverish and lacks energy, please ask: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or opt for local rinsing or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good effects. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For multiple acute severe cases or those with complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
