How should children with swollen and red tonsils be treated for good results?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, says even drinking water feels sore in her throat, found that coughing seems to be more severe as well, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can you treat tonsillitis effectively when a child's tonsils are swollen and red?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Additionally, proper prevention and health care measures should be taken in daily life.
