How should tonsillitis with low fever in young children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should low-grade fever from tonsillitis in infants be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can also be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is suggested. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
