When treating a child’s tonsillitis, you can give the child symptomatic antibiotic medication and perform regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt washing or tonsil intralesional injections. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed. Some children may also have fever, in which case, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
