Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on their symptoms. Local rinsing or topical application of medication can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
