How to diagnose and treat red and swollen tonsils in children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 9 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, at the same time, has been a bit feverish. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
