Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pharyngalgia in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
