Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying 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. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
