Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that, coughing seems to be quite severe as well. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis-induced crying in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
