Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting out, a little sore in the throat, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. How should tonsillitis fever in infants be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of reducing body temperature should be selected based on the temperature: for temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
