Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar medication injections. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
