Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, feels a sore throat when speaking, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it has been high fever for a long time now. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, and others. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if accompanied by fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on a liquid diet.
