Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed that cough seems to be more severe as well. Also, has been a bit feverish. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a fever, they may take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
