Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis causing crying in the child?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, appropriate antipyretics should be used. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
