Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe, and it seemed that his low fever hadn't gone away either. Please ask: How should the crying of children with tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for 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. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
