Patient's question:
My male baby, who is 2 years old, started experiencing a sore throat when speaking. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he talks. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for quite some time. Please advise: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in infants and young children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
