How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 3 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should low fever due to tonsillitis in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. Pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
