How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 8 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that coughing is quite severe, and a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of drugs into the tonsils. If a child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
