How to treat red and swollen tonsillitis in young children for the best effect

Patient's question:

Female baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Upon noticing, her cough is quite severe, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in young children?

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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
