Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied.
In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
