How should I treat my child's inflamed and swollen tonsils?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, and seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should the tonsils be treated if they are inflamed and swollen.

Doctor's answer:

For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
