Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. He also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
