Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed lacking in energy. Could you please advise on how to treat children's tonsillitis when they are crying and restless?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover from the illness as soon as possible.
