Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
