Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
