How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children be treated?

Patient's question:

My little girl is one year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated in children?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
