Patient's question:
My boy is 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing was a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis crying and screaming?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local irrigation or local spray can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the condition. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
