Patient's question:
My male baby is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, local medications can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
