How to treat sore throat from tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she has noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While treating the condition, it's also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
