Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
