Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively control the inflammation. If symptoms are severe, consider complementary regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. In cases of severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered to alleviate discomfort. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken; in severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences such situations, after the condition stabilizes, surgical treatment may be considered to avoid recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes sufficient vegetables and fruits.
