If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
