The child's tonsils are swollen and red, how should they be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, noticed, coughs quite severely, and seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat the swollen and red tonsils of the child?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
