How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 6 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, notices, coughs quite severely, and also has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in the child?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
