Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be a consideration. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the subsequent recurrence of tonsillitis.
