Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the pharyngitis and sore throat of the child be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The effectiveness of these methods is quite good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering further tonsillitis.
