How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated properly?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he talked. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen and red tonsils be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the doctor's guidance. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
