Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had been having a low fever. Question: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis that causes crying and restlessness?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for treatment, all of which are effective. If necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching colds and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
