How should a child with sore tonsils be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
