Patient's question:
Boy, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we diagnose and treat tonsillitis-induced crying in the child?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
