Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down.: How should pharyngitis tonsillitis sore throat be treated in young children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intra-tonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of reducing body temperature should be chosen based on the temperature: below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
