Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, notices, coughs more severely, and also has low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
