Question
A boy, 8 years old, initially had a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like he has had a low-grade fever all along. How should a child’s crying due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To achieve a better treatment effect for pediatric tonsillitis, some anti-inflammatory medications can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance. For children with more severe conditions, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medications can also be considered. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be administered to the child. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, take their children for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care in daily life.
