Question
How should I treat a child’s tonsillitis with crying and fussiness?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, considering the use of antibiotics for the child can be effective. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection medications can also be combined. If the child mainly experiences sore throat symptoms, parents can administer painkillers in moderation to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If there are multiple acute severe cases or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging the child’s reasonable diet and rest habits to help the disease recover sooner.
