Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Question: How can pharyngitis with high fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including procedures such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If a child experiences severe sore throat, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics; for fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
