How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated properly?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 2 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She was also found to have mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
