How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 3 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis with redness and swelling, how should it be treated.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, it may be appropriate to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
