Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in infants be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs 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 developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
