Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At the beginning, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication to consume, or use local flushing or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relief medication to alleviate it. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child properly warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to a cold.
