How should children with sore tonsils be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and has been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: How should a sore throat with tonsillitis in children be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be administered to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. For recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
