Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat, noticed it, and then experienced severe coughing. He also had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with crying in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the primary focus during treatment.
