Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Question: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local flushing or topical spray can also be used, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good therapeutic effects. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given accordingly. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help it recover as soon as possible.
