Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, his throat felt a bit sore, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should the crying and fussing from tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. For persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds, which could trigger further tonsillar inflammation.
