What methods are there to treat pediatric tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

2013.7.28 The child had a fever and went to Beijing Children's Hospital for treatment. The doctor said the child had a sore throat, with very red tonsils. At that time, the fever was between 39-40 degrees, high fever for 3 days, followed by two bubbles appearing in the child's throat (one on the left and one on the right)! Moreover, both bubbles had a bubbling phenomenon!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, acute tonsillitis. During the acute phase of chronic tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment should be the primary approach, with medications being used in sufficient dosage and duration. Some oral traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs that clear heat and detoxify, as well as alleviate symptoms, can be used as supplementary treatment. Regular physical exercise is recommended to enhance physical fitness and reduce the incidence of upper respiratory infections. Appropriately taking vitamin C and other medications can also aid in the treatment.
