How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 2 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that she also had mild coughing, and she had a slight fever and was not energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated.

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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under the doctor's guidance. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the primary focus.
