Patient's question:
Boy, just turned one month old. At first, he had a sore throat, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in infants be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child also has low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
