Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
