Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How to 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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
