Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe. At the same time, it seemed like his low fever never went away. Could you please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered appropriately, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt lavage, intra-tonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
