How should children with tonsillitis and crying be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, says drinking water makes her throat hurt, found that coughing is quite severe, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: What should be done when the child cries due to tonsillitis?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, as well as local irrigation or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If the child has significant throat pain, pain relievers may be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, immediate medical attention is required.
In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent further recurrence.
