Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's childhood tonsillitis, (treating symptoms) antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medicine directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child as well. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. But if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, the child should be given extra nutrition, with a diet focusing on light meals, and it is important to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
