Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to a doctor for early treatment.。
