Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. I'd like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers may be recommended based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
