Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest.
