Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He has also had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
