Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt, and it turns out her cough is also quite severe. Additionally, she has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis if the child is crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intra-tonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
