Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had a mild cough and low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for a child with tonsillitis crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Furthermore, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
