Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, you may consider giving pain-relieving medication. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it's above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
