Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should we treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis, (treat according to symptoms) antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. But if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
