How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis pain be treated?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
