How to diagnose and treat a child's tonsillitis and crying

Patient's question:

My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like his low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How should I treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying and fussing?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, you can take some fever-reducing medications orally. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
