Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever had not subsided. Please ask: How can the crying and fussing of pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat is particularly painful, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
