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

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
