Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and crying be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to provide fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
