Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed this accompanied by mild coughing, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing well in related prevention and health care work during daily life.
