When a child has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable, how should it be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned one month old, just started, said swallowing hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: if the child has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable, how should it be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children. These medications can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
