Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a slight fever and felt tired.：How to treat pharyngitis with tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on their symptoms. You can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections, which are all good options. If necessary, for example, when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, you can also give them some pain relief medication. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
