How to treat red and swollen tonsils in children effectively

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
