How to treat crying and fussing in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and then we noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, it seems like he hasn't recovered from a low fever. Please ask: How should we treat crying and fussing in infants and young children with tonsillitis?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. Pain relievers may also be administered when necessary, especially when the child experiences severe sore throat. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
