Question
A 5-year-old boy, at first, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it accompanied by a slight cough, and had a bit of a fever with a lack of energy. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively during crying and fussiness?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication can be given. At the same time, some regional treatments can be carried out, such as rinsing the tonsils or direct medication, to consolidate the treatment effect. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be administered. For children with fever symptoms, medications with antipyretic effects can be taken, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrent attacks. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
