How to Treat Crying in Children with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed he has severe coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should we treat children's tonsillitis when they cry and fuss?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
