How should children with tonsillitis and sore throat be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, said swallowing is painful, found, accompanied by mild cough, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local medication, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection, or providing pain relief medication for the child, especially when the sore throat is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
