Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
