Doctor's answer:

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage appropriate physical activity to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
