Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts to swallow things, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which yields good results. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug administration, both of which are effective. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Persistent fever in children should be treated with antipyretics; physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
