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

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that coughing is quite severe, and a bit feverish with no energy. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in the child?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be used. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
