Question

Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, one can consider administering anti-inflammatory medication, and regional rinsing or spraying may also be performed, with injections of appropriate medication into the tonsils also being an effective option. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, antipyretic medication should be administered, or immediate medical treatment should be sought. For cases that recur or have complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
