Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, she has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis,medication can be given to the child, which is relatively effective. If the child's condition is more severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
