Question

How should children with tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

Pediatric tonsillitis can be treated by selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, considering regional drug administration via sprays or laser therapy. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be provided. When fever is present, cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature, and a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be supplemented. Surgery can be considered after the onset of the disease. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
