Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also use local rinsing or local spraying, and the tonsils can be injected with symptomatic medication, all of which have good effects. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
