Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated if it causes discomfort?Doctor's answer:
When treating these diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt lavage and intratonsillar medication are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
