Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 9 years old, started to feel pain in their throats when drinking water. They found that their cough was quite severe, and they have had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, medications can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for treatment, all of which are quite effective. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
