How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She notices that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to provide relief. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
