Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
