How to Treat Crying and Distress in Children with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

My son is 5 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something, and we found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated?

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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can administer pain relief medication as needed. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may choose surgery under the doctor's guidance for treatment. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child has a balanced diet and a proper sleep routine to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
