The child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful. How should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water. Found that his cough is quite severe. Also, his high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis be treated if the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful?

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
