How to treat crying in children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. She noticed that her cough seems to be more severe as well, and she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for children's tonsil inflammation causing crying and fussiness?

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
