Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying 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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers to ease the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
