Patient's question:
My son, who is 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish. Could you please advise on the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
