Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, and he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and restlessness in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child also has a low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. However, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
