Patient's question:
A 7-year-old boy initially said he had pain when swallowing. It was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and crying be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
