Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for a child with tonsillitis crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
