How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
