Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain relievers can be considered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
