Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all quite effective. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. But if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
