Question
A 13-year-old boy experienced symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent fever while in elementary school. He inquired about how to treat a child’s tonsillitis with crying and fussing.
Answer
It is suggested that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate inflammatory symptoms for the child, and can also combine local treatment methods such as tonsil washing or injection medications. If the child’s main symptom is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered to relieve pain. If there is persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
