Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, at first, there was a little pain in the throat. It was found that the cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for a child with tonsillitis crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics can be used as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
