How should a child with sore tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 2 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, and a bit of fever and no energy, please ask: if the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
