Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then found that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should one treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
