How to treat a child with tonsillitis and low fever

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore. It was found that she also had mild coughing, and she had a slight fever and was not energetic. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis and low fever?

Doctor's answer:

First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
