How should a child with sore and inflamed tonsils be treated

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only one month old, just starting out, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medications or immediately take them to the hospital. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
