Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water felt painful in the throat. Noticed that the voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and fever in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which yield good effects. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be provided. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help facilitate early recovery from the illness.
