Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 8 years old, started with a slightly sore throat. She was found to have difficulty swallowing. At the same time, she has a high fever that won't go down.：How can pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has a relatively severe sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
