Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with crying and fussing in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
