Patient's question:

Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat. Found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Also, she has a high fever that won't go down now. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
