How should a child with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when they feel uncomfortable?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, at the same time, a little fever and no energy. Please ask: if the child has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable, how should it be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
