How should tonsillitis with sore throat in infants be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only one month old. At first, she said she had a sore throat, and it was found that her cough seemed to be quite severe, and it seemed that the low fever hadn't subsided either. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in infants be diagnosed and treated?

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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar medication injection. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child keeps having a fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital.
In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with the doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
