How should tonsillitis with low fever in young children be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 4 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should low-grade fever from tonsillitis in infants be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
