Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, she has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be administered according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, medical attention is necessary. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
