Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Pain relievers may also be given to children, especially when they experience severe throat pain, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
