Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, notices it, her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants be treated.Doctor's answer:
If treatment is needed, it can first be administered with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child primarily presents with sore throat symptoms, parents are advised to consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Parents should also ensure their children are adequately warmed and protected to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
