Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
