When a child's tonsillitis is uncomfortable, how should it be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old. He has just started to complain of a sore throat, noticed that his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis in children for the best results if they are feeling uncomfortable?

Doctor's answer:

When it comes to treatment, one can initially administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some analgesics to alleviate the pain. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or immediately take the child to the hospital. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgical intervention at an early stage. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
