How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis pain, how should it be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For repeated acute severe cases or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
