How should infant and toddler tonsillitis with fever be treated?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Also, he has had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should infant tonsillitis with fever be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also use local rinsing or local spraying, and medication can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. All these methods are quite effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily followed.
