Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 3 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and also seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying?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 according to symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection drugs, which are all good options. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
