Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing and also has a low fever. Question: How can we effectively treat crying in young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to alleviate symptoms.
