How should a child with tonsillitis and pain be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, said swallowing is painful, noticed that, voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis pain in the child be diagnosed and treated.

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 treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If a child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
