Answer
For treating pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat, consider administering appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. If the condition is more severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications may be combined. For children with significant pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. If fever is present, antipyretics should be taken, and medical attention should be sought promptly in cases of high fever. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and pay attention to rest, avoiding excessive fatigue.
