Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, found that coughing was quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While systemic treatment is being administered, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary.In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may opt for surgery under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
