Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can we effectively treat crying and fussing in infants and young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, and the efficacy is generally good. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
