Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, a little sore in the throat, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can pharyngitis with red and swollen tonsils be treated effectively in infants and young children?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. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during the treatment period.
