Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She notices it, coughs quite severely, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and they can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
