Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and they can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
