Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said it hurts to swallow things, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and fever in young children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Moreover, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
