Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection of medication, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain relievers can be given as appropriate. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling measures can be employed if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence.
