How to diagnose and treat crying and fussing in children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 9 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, found that cough seems to be more serious, and now she has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with crying in children.

Doctor's answer:

If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. These methods are commonly used in the current treatment of tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is properly kept warm to prevent worsening symptoms due to cold exposure.
