Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, and found that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Also, she had a slight fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated when they are crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected according to the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. If there are multiple acute severe cases or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
