Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and upset?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 medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Finally, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
