Doctor's answer:

Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
