Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in infants be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, 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.
