Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. It was found that his cough was also quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat children's tonsillitis when they cry and fuss.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms or use local treatments, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
