Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can appropriately give pain relievers to alleviate it. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing drugs can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
