How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Baby boy, just turned one month old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated for the best effect?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can give some pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
