How to treat fever and tonsillitis in young children

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 9 months old, just started, said it hurts to swallow things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
