Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, it is accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
