Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then he found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the crying and fussing of infants and young children with tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected accordingly. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
