Patient's question:
Boy, who is 6 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed mild coughing accompanied by a slightly elevated temperature, which has persisted. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first you can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child keeps having a fever, parents can also give some fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet and focus on liquid diet during the treatment period.
