Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed he has a mild cough, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if he's crying?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
