How should a child with sore tonsils be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned one month old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well, and he's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated for the best effect?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. Options such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication are excellent. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is essential. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
