Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurt when swallowing, and then it was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should we diagnose and treat tonsillitis in children who are crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. At the same time as taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
