Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He also had a low-grade fever. How should we diagnose and treat tonsillitis in children who are crying and restless?
Answer
To achieve a better treatment for tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered, and fever should be treated promptly. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention is required. After controlling the condition, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, provide a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
