How to treat severe tonsillitis in young children

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 4 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, and it seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How to treat very painful.

Doctor's answer:

Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, prompt medical attention is required. For cases of multiple acute severe episodes or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also ensure their children are well-protected from the cold to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
