Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had low fever. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds and further tonsillitis.
