Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammation.

If there is a fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought.

During treatment, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
