How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lethargic. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and sore throat, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. If the condition is serious, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
