Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just starting, says her throat hurts even when she drinks water, and has discovered that it is accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar injections. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help promote early recovery.
