Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can also be administered. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
