How should infant and toddler tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated appropriately?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old, just started, said swallowing is painful, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also a little fever and no energy, please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in infants and young children.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help promote early recovery.
