Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
