Question
How should a child with tonsillitis be treated effectively, as they are crying and restless?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose symptomatic treatment, regional irrigation or spraying, or even intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medication, all of which are effective. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, consider giving painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. For those with frequent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet, strengthens nutritional supplementation, and helps to recover as soon as possible.
