In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
