If a child has tonsillitis, it can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct tonsil injection. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a fever, it is appropriate to take antipyretics. However, if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. For recurrent acute severe cases or those with complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
Pediatric tonsillitis is a common pediatric disease with clinical symptoms including throat pain, earache, persistent low fever or sudden high fever, headache, general malaise, and chills. If not treated promptly, complications may arise.
