Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and restless.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is advised at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
