Treating Pediatric Tonsillitis and Sore Throat

For effective treatment of tonsillitis, consider selecting anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for localized treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. For symptoms primarily characterized by sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, choose cooling methods based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medication is recommended for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. In cases of recurrent acute severe illness or complications, it is advised to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, ensure proper warmth and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
