Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, there was a little pain in the throat. It was found that the cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should the crying and fussing of a child with tonsillitis be treated.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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If accompanied by fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as well. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and subsequent recurrent tonsillitis.
