Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has mild coughing, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Question: How should a sore throat with fever in a child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
