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