Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had mild coughing. He has also had a slight fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis in children effectively when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
