Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water, and he noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
