Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed lethargic. Please advise: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
