How to diagnose and treat a child's tonsillitis and crying

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he said it hurts to swallow things, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis that causes crying and fussing in the child be diagnosed and treated?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. 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.
