Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and she noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent future recurrences.
