Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can pharyngitis in young children be treated effectively when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis, and can be selected as appropriate. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
