Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying and restless?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 according to symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection medications, which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during treatment.
