How should tonsillitis be treated when a child feels uncomfortable?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 6 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis be treated if the child is uncomfortable?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary.
In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
