Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and also discovered mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
