How to Treat Red and Swollen Tonsillitis in Children Effectively

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and she noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated effectively in children?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During daily life, maintain a light diet, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
