Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are quite effective. If the child primarily presents with sore throat symptoms, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
