Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. It was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and she had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used in conjunction, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. It is advisable to maintain a light diet during daily life and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
