How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and low fever, how should it be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
