Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. He also had a slight fever and felt lethargic. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
