Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered.
