Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can also be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug and treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
