The child's tonsillitis is causing crying, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 4 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be for the child's tonsillitis causing crying?

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. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
