Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving drugs can be given as needed. If the child has a fever, antipyretics should be administered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
