Question
A 9-year-old boy has just started to complain of a sore throat, with noticeable severe coughing and a low-grade fever. How should young children’s tonsillitis crying and distress be treated?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, with the option to choose sensitive medications based on bacterial culture. The effect is good. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can also be combined, including tonsil crypt washing and injection medications. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Besides these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops inflammation, parents can also consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care work in daily life.
