Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old, just started, said swallowing hurts, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and slightly feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if they are crying?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
