Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis-induced crying in children?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. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
