Children's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 2 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, noticed that when talking, the voice is a bit hoarse, and a little feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: If children's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are currently commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of drugs into the tonsils. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
