Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old, just starting to complain of a sore throat. Noticing that her cough seems to be getting worse as well, accompanied by low-grade fever. Please advise: How should tonsillitis with crying be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching colds, which could trigger further tonsillitis.
