Question

How to treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively when they are crying and distressed?

Answer

In treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can initially give the child some anti-inflammatory medication, and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, consider giving some painkillers. For those with low fever, physical cooling can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
