Patient's question:
My male child, who is 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. Upon observation, I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer pain relief medication as needed. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
