How to treat pediatric tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

The baby is feeling unwell. These two days, the baby has been lacking energy and occasionally has high fever, cough, and a loss of appetite for food. Sometimes, the baby may have a bit of green nasal discharge, eating only a small amount at each meal, but the weight is increasing. Taking the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination, the diagnosis is confirmed as pediatric tonsillitis, which requires prompt treatment. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?

Doctor's answer:

When the body is attacked by pathogenic bacteria, the tonsils may again exhibit an inflammatory response, which is related to the body's resistance, the pathogenic bacteria themselves, and the degree of inflammation. Children are young and have weaker resistance, so they will gradually recover. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, severe inflammation, or enlarged tonsils that interfere with daily life, surgery to remove the tonsils may be considered. Additionally, it is usually necessary to pay attention to a light diet, exercise, balanced nutrition, and enhance resistance.
