Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, noticed it with mild coughing, and had a slight fever and lack of energy. Question: How should pharyngitis with fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs 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 the efficacy. Methods include crypt lavage, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesic medications can be administered. If there is a fever, cooling methods should be selected based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretic drugs should be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
