Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be taken for temperatures above 38.5°C. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
