Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and further inflammation of the tonsils.
