Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, noticed, cough is quite severe, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
