Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Also, it seems like he has a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. 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 to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
