How should infant tonsillitis with crying be treated?

Patient's question:

My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He was found to have severe coughing, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for children with tonsillitis crying and fussing?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Maintain a light diet, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
