Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
