Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old. At first, when speaking, she felt a sore throat, noticed it, and had severe coughing. Additionally, she has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis-induced crying in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Moreover, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent worsening the symptoms.
