Doctor's answer:

For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
