Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should the child's tonsillitis be treated if she is crying?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
