How should a child with tonsillitis be treated?

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it is difficult to recover.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
