Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and it was found that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected accordingly. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intra-tonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
