Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and then noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
