Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat a child with tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and medication injection into the tonsils. If the child has a sore throat, pain relievers can be given appropriately. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is suggested. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
