How to Treat Crying in Children with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

My son is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. Later, it was found that he also had mild coughing, and now he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the crying of a child with tonsillitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be considered to ease the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be administered orally. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment should be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
