How to treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively when it is difficult to treat?

Patient's question:

Baby boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seemed like a low fever hasn't gone away. Question: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. You can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has been running a fever continuously, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and daily routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
