Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also noticed mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Question: How should infant tonsillitis with crying and restlessness be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer antipyretic medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
