Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, and it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away either. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis be treated when crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
