Dealing with Pediatric Tonsillitis: How to Treat for Optimal Effectiveness

If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic antibiotic medication, regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation, or intra-tonsillar injections can be used. Painkillers can be administered for throat pain. For fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5°C, physical cooling can be applied; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken.
