Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. All these methods are quite effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
