Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has had a slight fever. Please ask: What should be done if the child cries due to tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
