Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was discovered that his cough was also quite severe, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should the crying and fussing of young children with tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer antipyretic drugs or take the child to the hospital immediately. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during treatment.
