Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore, but it was found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should we treat crying and fussing in infants and young children with tonsillitis for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
