Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Persistent fever can be managed with oral antipyretics. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
