How should a child with sore tonsils be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
