Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt. It was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe, and it seemed that his low fever hadn't gone away either. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Children with low-grade fever should be physically cooled down, and if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
