Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate.

If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.

It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
