Surely you're not serious. This is a rare but serious and dangerous bacterial infection, and requires fast-acting treatment that involves surgical draining and fast-acting agents that will kill a very stubborn bug.
I have had a quinsy. Not even a fully formed one, I had severe pain and inflammation that was treated before an abscess filled with pus that could be drained. I was in excruciating, crippling pain for days. I was completely unable to eat or drink it was so painful, half my head was in severe pain. My brother did have a full-fledged one and was in hospital for 2 nights.
It is insulting to suggest that such a debilitating and serious infection will respond to the treatments you mention, and appalling to suggest a child be made to tolerate this horrific pain until parents realise that a few days in hospital is what is needed, by which time the abscess has grown.
Please, please, do not encourage parents to subject children to any protracted pain or give any parents false hope that they can avoid a hospital stay... which will give almost instant relief from the pain by draining the abscess, and effective infection management afterwards.
