Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Could you please tell me how to treat children's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If medication efficacy is poor and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During treatment, it is important to ensure children receive adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
