Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, found that accompanied by mild cough, also has a slight fever all along, please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
