Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis,, which is quite effective. During systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling measures can be taken if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius.
