Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and also to complement with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. Additionally, painkillers can be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. Children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Rest should also be prioritized, avoiding fatigue.
