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 according to the symptoms. In addition, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be given. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
