Answer
For the treatment of swollen red tonsils, it is first necessary to administer appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections, can also be considered. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be used. In cases of fever, cooling measures should be applied as needed. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get enough rest to avoid overexertion.
