Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. It was also discovered that his cough seemed quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis in children who are crying?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture results. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar drug injections. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be an option. Finally, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
