How to Treat Crying and Irritability in Children with Tonsillitis Effectively

Patient's question:

Little girl, currently 3 years old. At first, she said her throat was sore. She noticed it, swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying be treated for the best effect?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt lavage, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For cases of multiple acute severe episodes or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
