Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is recommended to use fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought.In addition to the above drug and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
