Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. For multiple acute severe episodes or cases with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
