How should a child with sore tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 5 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Children with fever symptoms should take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgical intervention is recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
