Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when she drinks water. She noticed that her cough seems to be more severe as well, and she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with low-grade fever in infants be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
