How should pediatric tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
