Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like a low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
