Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was found that his cough is also quite severe, and he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in children who cry and fuss.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be administered. For high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
