Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and then we noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is advised as early as possible. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during the healing period.
