Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and he was a bit feverish and lacked energy. Please ask: How should one treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. 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 symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
