What should I do if my baby has tonsillitis and hasn't eaten for three days?

Patient's question:

Three days without eating, only drinking a little water, my throat is hoarse, I easily cry, and I'm restless at midnight, but my mental state during the day is still okay. I feel very worried and don't know what to do. Please ask, if the baby has tonsillitis and is not eating.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the series of conditions you have provided. Most of the child's poor appetite is caused by tonsillitis. If the child is sick, it is best to take them to the pediatric department of the hospital for treatment. Do not seek medical treatment randomly in small clinics. First, blood should be drawn from the child for a complete blood count test and the corresponding examinations. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the test results. If the child cannot take medication, intravenous treatment can be administered. Medications for fever reduction, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. Give the child more warm water to drink.
