How should infant and toddler tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered severe coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated for the best effect?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
