How should children with tonsillitis properly be treated for crying?

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child primarily has sore throat symptoms, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
