Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for a child with tonsillitis who is crying?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also provide fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
