Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be administered in conjunction. For severe sore throat, pain relief medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If such cases occur, surgical intervention can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
