How to Treat Crying in Young Children with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should the crying of a child with tonsillitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be administered orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
