Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should the crying and fussing of a child with tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and medication can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief—all of these methods have good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
