Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting out. She says that even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
