Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. 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.
