Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She was also found to have mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be applied. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is crucial to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
