Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned two months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc., can also be performed. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is under control. Maintain a light diet in daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
