Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, both of which are effective. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
