How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, when she was talking, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in the child be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, emergency medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
