Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
