Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had low-grade fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children with crying and restlessness be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy, including crypt lavage and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child's throat pain is severe, you may also administer pain-relieving medications as needed. If the child still has a fever, it's advisable to provide fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, ensure your child maintains a light diet and adequate nutritional supplementation to facilitate early recovery.
