While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
