Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever reducers can be taken for temperatures above 38.5°C. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
