How to treat tonsillitis with redness and swelling in children

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis redness and swelling if the child has it?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medications, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
