Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and then it was discovered that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, and other treatments are all effective. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
