How to treat red and swollen tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Moreover, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are recurrent inflammation cases, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
