Question

How should crying in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes both systemic and local treatments. Parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications and opt for local treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct tonsil injection to enhance efficacy. If there is severe throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If there is persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the child frequently recurs, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, eating a light diet, and getting adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
