Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in infants be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
