Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He was found to have severe coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis in children that causes crying for better effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be combined. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
