Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, coughed quite severely, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when the child is crying?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
